New York, July 20, 2010 - NYSE Technologies, the global commercial technology unit of NYSE Euronext, today announced the launch of Order Routing DirectSM, its new, fully-managed point-to-point order routing service.

By coupling that model with Order Routing Direct, NYSE Technologies has become the only provider to offer customers the value of two complementary connectivity services.”

Order Routing Directoffers support for every trading workflow using the FIX protocol standard. With unparalleled technology and NYSE Technologies white glove client service and support, Order Routing Direct provides a fast solution for on-boarding trading destinations.
